The Premier League returned after
the Capital One Cup fixtures held in midweek. The weekend started with
Liverpool traveling to London to face a Chelsea side short of confidence and
having their manager in the papers for the wrong reasons.

Liverpool Traveled To Stamford Bridge To Inflict Further Injuries

They were joined by
neighbors Man Utd who visited Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace, Arsenal
continued their march with a fine display against Swansea and Nigerian favorite Odion
Ighalo kept up with his performances helping Watford rise to eleventh. Here you
have it, 5 things we learnt this weekend.

KLOPP BREAKING BAD:

Might be too quick to jump on the
Klopp bus but his presence in Liverpool is gradually been felt. Liverpool’s 3-1
win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea was a lot of wins on several fronts and
more than just 3 points away from home.

Coutinho Was Brilliant Against Chelsea

It was the second time this season the
Reds had scored more than once in a game this season, won a game in which they
conceded first in 11 months, and were able to grab a win at the Bridge after
four years. Klopp was tactically brilliant and his emotional figure at the
touchline was one to enjoy. Football might just be exciting again not for the
Reds but from them as well.

Liverpool and Klopp Both On The Rise

SCHOLES IS RIGHT:

Louis van Gaal might have tough skin
to have words not break him, it also doesn’t stop Paul Scholes’ criticisms from
being right. The former United midfielder gave a harsh assessment after the
club’s exit from the League Cup saying any striker would struggle in his
defence to Wayne Rooney, and bemoaning the club’s lack of attacking display.

Scholes Was Scathing In His Attacks After Man Utd's Cup Exit

Against Crystal Palace it was more of the same, Man Utd had only one shot on
target with the traveling supporters chanting Scholes’ praises and calling for
the team to attack more. Man Utd lie 18th in the league with most
shots at goal, how long would it take before Fergie praises are chanted?

ARSENAL ARE IN 5TH
GEAR:

The Gunners are proving to be
worthy title challengers. At the beginning of the season, it was expected that
Arsenal would be around there with Man City and Chelsea being the serious title
contenders when the season rolls out proper. It’s November and the Gunners are
level on points with Man City with Chelsea faltering and finding themselves at
the other end of the table.

Arsenal Ran Out Comfortable Winners After An Edgy Start

Arsenal sealed out a win after an edgy first half
with three goals, something not familiar with Arsenal in the past. But in
recent weeks Arsenal kill games more often and grind it out from nowhere. Cliché,
but testament of a side capable of winning the league.

WATFORD SAFE WITH IGHALO:

Of all the three clubs that saw
promotion, Watford look to have the best chance of staying up and the Hornets can
rely on Ighalo to help them pull through. This is not to discredit the hard work
put in by Quique Sanchez Flores’s men but Ighalo in the team is highly
essential.

Hornet's Man of the Moment. Odion Ighalo

The striker has now been involved in Watford's last nine Premier
League goals, scoring seven and setting up three.

SUNDERLAND NEED TO SPEND:

The last time Everton scored that
many goals it was eight years back and Sunderland were on the receiving end in
a 7-1 trashing, fast forward and it is a 6-2 scoreline. Sam Allardyce known for
his organized team and tight defence would have been taken aback by his team’s
display. The Black Cats need to spend in January and do so wisely too.

Sunderland Were Left In Shock As Everton Ran Riot

The
squad lacks quality and no matter how far Sam wants to roll his sleeves back
these currents Cats would not do. Sunderland risk being relegated after some
brilliant years in the League and could start with the defensive unit with
Romelu Lukaku giving the backline a torrid time.
